Don Doroteo Cigars is now shipping its Salt of the Earth line, featuring the Piedra Viva and the Piedra Angular.
Both blends come in a 5.75 x 54 Toro Vitola ($16.75) and are housed in boxes of 10.
The Piedra Viva features an Ecuadorian Cameroon wrapper, with a Nicaraguan binder and a mix of Dominican andullo, corojo, criollo ’98, and Nicaraguan condega ligero and viso condego.
The Piedra Angular features a Dominican Corojo wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and filler composed of Dominican andullo, corojo, criollo ’98 & Nicaragua condega ligero, viso condego. “My grandfather and my Dominican roots are the inspiration for the Salt of the Earth line, which is why we used andullo in both blends,” Juan Lugo, co-founder of Don Doroteo Cigars, said in a press release. “Andullo is distinctly Dominican and has been smoked as pipe tobacco by the Taino Indians on the island 500 years ago.”
